Mount Carmel — Ch. 12 Housing § 12-46
Rubbish storage facilities
Operative Text
Each dwelling unit shall be supplied with adequate rubbish storage facilities, the type and location of which shall conform to the applicable provisions of this Code.
Section 12-46 of Mount Carmel's Housing Code requires that every dwelling unit be equipped with rubbish storage facilities that are sufficient in capacity and properly situated according to the broader standards set out in the Code. The rule applies to the dwelling unit itself, meaning the obligation exists at the unit level rather than only at the building or property level. Both the type of container or facility and its placement must meet the applicable Code requirements.

Under Mount Carmel Ch. 12 Housing § 12-46, property owners and managers are generally expected to provide each dwelling unit with rubbish storage that is adequate in size and type for the unit's needs and placed in a location that satisfies the rest of the Code. Compliant operators typically assess whether existing storage facilities remain sufficient as occupancy or unit configurations change. Keeping records of the type, capacity, and placement of rubbish facilities can help demonstrate ongoing compliance during inspections.
